St. Kitts Scenic Railway National Tour

The St. Kitts Scenic Railway takes passengers on a 3-hour tour that makes a 30-mile circle around the beautiful Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts, 18 miles by narrow gauge train and 12 miles on sightseeing buses. Built between 1912 and 1926 to transport sugar cane from the island’s sugar plantations to the sugar factory in the capital city of Basseterre, today, the “Last Railway in the West Indies” provides visitors an unsurpassed opportunity to experience the scenery and culture of this unspoiled country.

You can hear this story from our people on our train, hear the songs we sing, have a cool drink with us, and wave at our children as we pass through the villages where many of us live. This is the real Caribbean, the way it has always been, on an island that most people have never seen or heard about. Our story is told in the warm trade winds and the clickety-clack of the wheels on the rail joints. So come with us on an amazing journey of beauty and discovery. It is our pleasure to show you our home.

The narrow gauge St. Kitts Railway offers visitors to the two-island Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. Built between 1912 and 1926 to deliver sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill in the capital city of Basseterre, the railway now provides a fascinating way to see the entire nation from the comfort of luxurious railcars built specifically for touring the island of St. Kitts.
